The German Amateur Broadcasting and Receiving Service (DASD) was an association of radio amateurs .

history

In Germany, on May 14, 1924, receiving licenses were issued to radio amateurs for the first time by the Deutsche Reichspost in the form of an " Audion test permit for the private installation of a radio receiving system" . At that time they were only allowed to listen, not to broadcast, but they had to prove technical knowledge at that time .

The German Radio Technology Association (DFTV) in Munich was founded as an interest group on July 28, 1925 . Thereafter, on March 20, 1926, the German Broadcasting Service (DSD) was founded, which was renamed the German Amateur Broadcasting and Receiving Service on March 20, 1927 . The club's own magazine was called CQ. Only members of DASD were allowed to acquire one of the few experimental radio licenses; in 1934 there were 324 of these licenses. In 1934 the management of the DASD has been prepared by the Ministry of Propaganda against a Nazi replaced loyalty leadership that only Aryan German admitted of the club. In 1938, the Austrian Association of Experimental Transmitters (OEVSV) was integrated into the DASD in the course of the annexation of Austria. The OEVSV was linked to the DASD from 1929 to 1933.

In 1939, after the start of the war, amateur radio was banned altogether and the devices were confiscated. Some of the DASD radio amateurs found employment in the arms industry. In 1944 the DASD building was completely destroyed by an Allied bombing raid. After the restrictive restrictions on amateur radio activity by the National Socialist regime, the destruction of the broadcasting building and the strict ban on broadcasting by the victorious powers after the end of the war, amateur radio was virtually completely stopped in May 1945 .

Former DASD members joined forces on August 17, 1946 to form the Württemberg-Badischen-Radio-Club (WBRC), the first successor organization to the DASD. In 1950 a similar organization, the German Amateur Radio Club ( DARC ) , which still exists today, was founded.
